Oprah Winfrey

In 2003, Oprah became the first African-American woman to reach billionaire status, according to Forbes Magazine. She has broken through cultural, geographical and gender barriers, letting the world know it’s not your circumstances, but your heart that determines how far you go in this world.  “What I know for sure is that what you give comes back to you. That’s not just my theory or point of view- its physics, life is an energy exchange of giving and receiving, and the way to have what you want is to five what you need.” She has influenced the way woman think, talk, eat, study, shop, exercise and lead.  Oprah is often described as one of history’s most powerful women.
